Lets look at Teachers for example. How many people here have a teacher in the public school system who is nasty, hasn't changed her teaching format in years, still uses the same plans and kids are having problems learning and complain, but because she's tenured they can't fire her.

Last time I checked if i didn't do my job my boss could fire me. Take the writers guild right now, are you kidding me they are complaining about their jobs, they write jokes and scripts. If they said they weren't working I'd go out and find someone else to write jokes. See how much they complain when they have no paychecks coming in.
Your statements are uninformed.
I have personally seen dozens of nonproductive members of our union given the old boot for failure to knowledgably perform their work. And if lets say a union electrician is fired 3 times in 1 year, an investigation is launched and the international office steps in. Its a little more difficult to actually rid the person entirely from our line of work, but it can and does happen.
